Usually utilization category is mentioned in most of the switch gear, with the above contactor stating to be used under AC1 - resistive load & AC3 for motor usage. In electrical engineering utilization categories are defined by IEC standards [1] and indicate the type of electrical load and duty cycle of the loads to ease selection of contactors ...
MIL-HDBK-704-1 through-8 defines test methods and procedures for determining airborne utilization equipment compliance with the electric power characteristics requirements defined herein. Electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes are not covered by this standard.
The current rating of the contactor depends on utilization category. Example IEC categories in standard 60947 are described as: AC-1 - Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, resistance furnaces; AC-2 - Starting of slip-ring motors: starting, switching-off; AC-3 - Starting of squirrel-cage motors and switching-off only after the motor is up ...
In electrical engineering, utilization factor, , is the ratio of the maximum load which could be drawn to the rated capacity of the system. This is closely related to the concept of Load factor. The Load factor is the ratio of the load that a piece of equipment actually draws (time averaged) when it is in operation to the load it could draw ...
In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...
MIL-STD-704 Aircraft Electrical Power Characteristics is a United States Military Standard that defines a standardized power interface between a military aircraft and its equipment and carriage stores, covering such topics as voltage, frequency, phase, power factor, ripple, maximum current, electrical noise and abnormal conditions (overvoltage and undervoltage), for both AC and DC systems.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met virtually on Monday with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and raised concerns about "malicious cyber activity" carried out by Chinese state-sponsored actors ...
The diversified load is the total expected power, or "load", to be drawn during a peak period by a device or system of devices. The maximum system load is the combination of each device's full load capacity, utilization factor, diversity factor, demand factor, and the load factor. This process is referred to as load diversification.
